I have a genetic defect that prevents my body from converting folic acid into folate. Since genetic testing I have taken a quality methyl folate supplement. My mental health provider did the genetic testing, this genetic defect contributed to my life long folate deficiency, anemia and depression . I also have celiac disease. Complicated medical history. Took 70 years to get this straightened out. Do not give up, it is never too late to get healthy. Changed my life!
I am looking forward to treating my insomnia with Folate.I take 220mg.of Tryptophan 220 mg. Of Magnesium along with Trazadone for sleep.it’s only gives me 3-4 hrs.of sleep, I take a second Trazadone to get my 7-8 hrs. Of sleep.can insomnia be genetic, both my Brother and Father take Z-class prescriptions for their sleep.would love to hear what you Dr. Osborne have any thoughts on this…. Thanks I enjoy your excellent videos.
If there is high blood pressure because of high homocystein due to the B9 defficiency cand the blood pressure be reversed 100% if the B9 is supplimented and homocystein go back under 7?
Hi Dr. Osborne and Staff members, thank you for the very informative videos and lectures!! Just one thing the monitor/screen gets very glared and sometimes hard to see... please work on studio lighting. Thanks!😃
Question how do u know what vitamin gamma and delta source in vitamin. I have ostopenia..I took algae calcium and I think it made my thyroid made . I tried calcium malate with the gamma in it by designs for health. Blew up my tummy ..rice bran oil was source...my point is hard to find the correct thing to take..yours is so pricey
I tried taking some methylfolate 4 days ago and my nerves got worse again. Waking up with pins and tingling in my feet, cold toes etc. Neuropathy pain and tingling in extremities and even chest nerves. Earlier this month, B12 also made it worse and possibly B6. B6 is bad for neurological pain for a lot of people but I wasn't expecting this from B9 or B12. Not sure what's going on here, it's so hard to get the proper ratios of all of these nutrients.
@@sumitjaiswal6901 That's interesting. I was considering getting glycine for glutathione production and for helping rebuild collagen. Is that why you mention it?
@@robzreelz actually I read in some comments that glycine actually helps in absorption of folate.. and vitamin b3 also helps in overcoming the side effects of folate supplements.. it would be helpful if you please give an update after taking glycine and folate.
tingling means that the nerves are not isolated = myelin sheath is not properly build. Knowing nothing about your med history, but I think good quality dha 1000 mg per day, TMG and NAD booster like NMN, Nam, or NA can help. Don't forget nutrition ! 3 eggs per day at least, and max 100g carbs, with most calories from mufa fat and saturated fat
I’m so interested in finding this kind of information out. Did your doctor just order these tests for you? Did you ask the doctor to check? Or did you get a specific kind of testing done to find out your nutrient levels. Sorry for so many questions
The reason your B12 is so high, that means it's in your blood and you're not absorbing any of it.. cannot make my nurse practitioner understand this. High levels in the blood equals pernicious anemia. Not absorbing any in your stomach.
Every time I have lab work done it always comes back I'm anemic even tho I take iron supplements, and my cholesterol is off the charts . Could this be the cause?
My dr always tells me to take iron pills. I do but then read I need vitamin c for absorption. Problem being I'm still anemic . So I was hoping this was my answer " folate"
which cholesterol? total cholesterol does not tell you anything. Which type of anemia? anemia or iron deficiency? folate and b12 are needed to produce red blood cells. If deficient, it can be seen in the size and size distribution of RBC, which is part of std lab on blood.
@ladyluck You might need an iron infusion. I struggle to absorb iron and have hard anemia issues. ferritin is my problem. cant fill the storage tanks even tho all the other levels are ok. wear a smart watch to bed one that check your oxygen thro the night. Mine is very poor and has been a game changer to getting treatment. didnt even know it was a problem until i got my watch and wear it to bed. they will look harder at your digestive track...sleep studies...and full iron studies to get to the reason why you are not getting better. Im still in the looking for my cause and effect...but are well on the way to figuring it out. good luck.... start with a watch to track your sleep!! :-) (when I take iron with folate before bed..my oxygen doesn't drop over night. according to my watch readings. )

And Thankyou for your reply 💝
9::30 am. Thank you .. I was told years ago to take folic to reduce side affects from methotrexate. I recently switched to folate.
Thank you for amazing information. So grateful for your videos and much appreciated as always. God bless you!
Excellent Doc👍
Dr Osborne I would love to see an interview with Morley Robbins surrounding copper, vit. A, Magnesium
Great video.

My husband has mthfr Factor V. We have read he shouldn't have folic acid but can take metalated folate. Your thoughts?

Must be your device..me its perfect 😊😊
So what foods can help this then?

So pricey? Very resonable for such great quality, seems you don't value your health
@@lightfaeries7 u must b doc or know it all. Never asked you and u don't know me. Knock it off

Try taking glycine and glutamine before taking folate

I had a bit of a flare from taking b vitamins too. It can be frustrating, I agree.

Genetics. No mention of genetic snps
Folinic acid is expensive though. Not cheap. More expensive than methyle folate.
I just got my folate results… 5!? … B12 is 1342 😢

@@julierogers4473 please think before writing publicly
@@julierogers4473i am confused how would it be high level of b12 in the blood yet not absorbing thru the gut? How else it get in the blood
The 1.3k value of B12 is likely from a blood draw. When did you take your supliment? At least you know your stomach is working!😂😊
Every time I have lab work done it always comes back I'm anemic even tho I take iron supplements, and my cholesterol is off the charts . Could this be the cause?
You aren’t supposed to take iron or calcium. For iron deficiency it’s copper and zinc
My dr always tells me to take iron pills. I do but then read I need vitamin c for absorption. Problem being I'm still anemic . So I was hoping this was my answer " folate"
I dont take calcium!
